Nonreciprocal quantum interference and coherent photon routing in a three-port optomechanical system
arXiv:1909.07753 · doi:10.1364/OE.379990
Abstract
We study the quantum interference between different weak signals in a three-port optomechanical system, which is achieved by coupling three cavity modes to the same mechanical mode. If one cavity serves as a control port and is perturbed continually by a control signal, nonreciprocal quantum interference can be observed when another signal is injected upon different target ports. In particular, we exhibit frequency-independent perfect blockade induced by the completely destructive interference over the full frequency domain. Moreover, coherent photon routing can be realized by perturbing all ports simultaneously, with which the synthetic signal only outputs from the desired port. We also reveal that the routing scheme can be extended to more-port optomechanical systems. The results in this paper may have potential applications for controlling light transport and quantum information processing.
